A New Mexico family on the 4th of July were out in the front yard enjoying the fireworks just like a normal family does, had fireworks of their own. The family started to hear thunder an see lightning so they started to make their way inside when it happened. Oh did I mention the mother was 2-weeks away from giving birth.

Over the holiday weekend E. and I went on vacation. He loves dinosaurs and a friend told me about this place that was full of dinosaurs. It was in the tiny town of Glen Rose, Texas. We only went for the day but it would be perfect for a family vacation. You may ask yourself why would anyone want to vacation in a tiny town. Well if that tiny town is full of wonderful things, why not? Keep reading to find out all about Glen Rose, Texas.

Being teachers allows my husband and me the opportunity to stay home with our kids during the summer and the holidays. We've often commented on how blessed we are that we get to spend so much time together as a family. It truly is wonderful. Well, except for one thing... The mess.

So Summer is here and the kids are out of school. Before to long they are going to be whining about being bored. Well when that boredom rolls around here are some fun activities you and the kids can do to pass the time.

I've said this before, lots and lots of times, but having a boy has taught me so much about men. Turns out, it's not their fault. They really were born the way they are. And men really are just big little boys. Or little boys are really just miniature men. Either way...

OK so not a lot of people have the money to spend on a huge vacation. I understand that feeling. I would love to be able to take E. on a vacation to Orlando to go to Disney World. I think of all the fun he would have and I get a little sad

I've been hanging on this blog a lot lately: travel50stateswithkids.com. The whole site is built around the concept of taking kids to all 50 states--in as little as 12 trips even. I know, sounds crazy, right? But I have to admit, I'm kind of digging it. There are numerous clubs for this, by the way. Google it!

I am quite fond of the phrase "Never stop learning." I hope people always take whatever opportunity that becomes available to expand their horizons, meet new people, or explore new surroundings. Learning is essential to survival; but, I never considered the fact that my child could teach me a valuable lesson. I was proven wrong this past weekend.

Normally, when it comes to wedding planning the bride is usually the one who does most of the planning. Yes, the groom is involved but rarely jumps in and plans along with his bride. However, this Texas groom wanted to take that stress off of his soon-to-be wife and planned a surprise wedding. Good idea or bad idea?
